/Play Dead

[SokiYagami]

I guess I don't see the big deal. A company is supposed to cash grab. If it didn't it would be a clarity.

Once again, I'm kind of neutral on the cash shop topic, sometimes I buy some stuff and other times I don't. I get how we are paying a monthly sub, but also how SE is a company instead of a charity organisation (I assume you had a typo), I just kind of wish that we can settle for a middle ground and for them to lower the price of the items on the kupo store imo. Like this emote could had been 3 USD and be account wide instead maybe? There will still be complaints and backslash, but it would be more reasonable imo.

Hehe to be fair I didn't know at first either and spent a while trying to get the link to work until I put my finger wrong and hit the banner. XD

I guess I've played too much Korean MMO in the past but I am happy with whatever that isn't pay2win tbh. FFXIV isn't as cash grab as other MMO seriously.

Right. I heard there's a leveling potion and MSQ potion that will be very likely coming to a kupo store near you in the future. While I agree with the reasoning why we should get those (for new players or alt job/account), I simply disagree with the mindset of "I'm ok with something so long it doesn't affect me.... yet".

I'm fine with frivolous glamour things (emotes/glamour gear) being made available solely through the cash shop, with others available through events. They're "extra".

There are other things that should be fleeting, like fanfest items or Feast rewards, because it supports the event/content it's related to. Jumping in after the fact and grabbing something doesnt build the "success" of the event/content.

From their instagram video it looks like they are.

$7 per character is shite tho.

Oh thanks. It's sneaky of them to only put that there.

Previously emotes were $2 (Bomb Dance) or ported over from another version of the game (Bow). These are the first Mogstation exclusive emotes and they are more expensive than housing or glamour items. Another factor is Playing Dead/Lying Down has been a frequently requested emote and was originally turned down because it could be obscene. Now it's being sold to use for a bloated price. I have generally been okay with the cash shop, but this one does feel like a blatant cash grab.

Actually /Play dead might be in the mogstation as a limiter because of how obscene it could be. Someone who spends the equivalent of $7 on the emote is far less likely to abuse it that any random person who got the emote for free.

/Backflip is likely there because they expect a fairly good return on investment considering how much work it required to develop.

Oh you'd be surprised...

I think this one is kind of justify because it used to be a China FFXIV exclusive along with the Monkey King set. Since they have to pay for it in the first place, it's only right that we should as well. Then there's the issue of why it wasn't in-game for them in the first place, because their payment system is different from ours and it's closer to a F2P MMO than our version. You can check out more details in the Yoshi-P no more exclusive items please thread.

I think it's funny that a company that hosts an MMORPG, where thousands of players can meet, mingle, and mince together in a single world, would be worried about people doing "obscene" things with their characters/emotes. When I heard one emote animation was changed because of the whole obscenity thing, I laughed. I laughed even harder when they gave monks the ability to "twerk" for their /bstance. Not to be lewd here, but, um, the first thing I thought when I saw my character do that was, "I'm gonna twerk in front of someone and make it look like they're sticking it to me!"

SE, you're gonna take money from sick-minded people like me. Just let it happen and, unless people violate your ToS, forgeddabouddit!

I like this emote, and if the profit they make off the mogstation went to things like increasing the housing wards, I'd probably tolerate the $7 fee. As things are right now, I don't really know what areas of the game SE is spending their profit on, so the price tag is displeasing. I'd also prefer if the emote isn't limited to one character only.

Usually I wouldn't complain but... $7? and only for ONE character. Yeah no.
